Rubio says foreign support prevents reforms in Cuba

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said support from the international community for the Cuban government prevents the reforms the population needs.

The statement came during an official conversation with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in which they discussed bilateral cooperation and shared international priorities.

According to the State Department, Rubio urged El Salvador’s government to coordinate with Washington and other countries to advance common goals at the United Nations.

The two leaders also discussed the security of strategic infrastructure, including ports, and the need to protect it from possible foreign threats.
